"Bang for the buck is right here"
Pros: Price to features ratio; sound.
Cons: No audio on HDMI; Trouble with low impedence speakers
Summary: Great value for the $374.00 I paid.

"P for Power sound, Price, and Pioneer"
Pros: Thx certified, different soround settings, LCD remote, affordable, and windows compatable.
Cons: LCD remote should had a backlit and HDmi is only for video
Summary: Im a Pioneer fan since the turntables and mixers, so I know that pioneer is great quality. I own a HDTV and with this reciever, its worth every penny even though the HDMI inputs are only for Video. If anyone purchase this A/V reciever, I recommend ... read more >>
